Australian Disasters.

The Australian coast seems to be pro-
life in disasters, due AZ much to the
carelessness of those who have charge
OF steamships and railroad trains as to
the phenomenal storms that sweep over
the Antipodes. The wreck of the North
cumberland in Napier harbor and the
terrible railway disaster near Melbourne
were both due to bad management. At
most, the guilty persons are deprived
for few months Of their commissions
to act as captain or engineer, but this is
light punishment, which seems inca
pable of enforcing that conscientious
ness that alone insures the safety Of the
travelling public. The Sun Francisco
Chronicle truthfully remarks that the
law ohould be no remodeled that any
one guilty of ieopardiziug the lives OF
the property entrusted to their care
should be punished as other criminals

THE SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT.

How Wealth Tries to Make Assurance
DoubIy Sure-Loclks and Safes.
It is a long way, in fact, from the
simple contrivances Of classic times for
protecting ready wealth to the Golfers
and money chests, the secret drawers
and guarded treasures Of Florence and
Venice. And from them it is still a
longer one through the clumsy safes and
rude locks Of the last century to the pres
emf almost perfect treasure vaults, proof
against fire or food against both sharp
edged tools and any charges of powder or
dynamite that a burglar may safely use.
The present safety vault has of course
grown out of the old safe, and is really
only perfected modern bank safe on an
enlarged plan. The average safe is an
iron and steel box, some four to six feet
in height by four feet in breadth and
depth. 1t has thick door, made in half
a dozen layers Of unequal size heavily
bOlted together, and opens by a conbina-
ton of movements on an exterior knob.
The safe deposit vault is another big
box, also of steel and iron, some ten feet
In height and twelve feet In length. built
In, like prisoners cell. with a heavy
wall Of brick, mortar and cement, and
opening by door almost a foot in thick
ness into larger room which contains it.
All that ingenuity can do has been done
to make the body OF the vault impregna-
bic and to put the secret Of the intricate
lock beyond chance of guessing. The
cell inside is lined with drawers and
boxes, each locked and bolted The
whole thing j. a safe within a safe. max
ing assurance doubly sure at but slightly
higher rates for nervous and cautious de-
positors.
Safe deposit vaults are built by only a
few of the large safe makers. The metal
used for the walls of the vault is a mix
ture Of iron and steel, melted together at
high heat and tempered throughout as
finely and evenly as possible. The result
is a homogeneous, almost fawless sur
face, which defies alike the burglars
tools or the flames of big fire A wall
three inches In thickness is laid on in
plates with heavy bolts of the same ma
terial, and the whole side is then shut in
with stout covering of fire proof brick
and a finely mixed cement. Particular
care, of course, Is taken with the door,
which is the only part exposed after the
outer wall is built. The plates are doubled,
braced and re-braced, of various sizes ac-
cOrding TO the layers, over tapping and
falling short, bat all so piled and blended
together that while one holds all Will
hold and the treasures within viii still be
safe. The lock combination Is made SO
intricate, too, that it needs one mans
mind working all the time to keep up
with it.
The demand for vaults is comparatively
small now, but the makers agree that
there viii be a large increase in the
number used before ten years pass.
People are just beginning to realize what
mental relief it is to have ones valuables
absolutely secure from accident or theft,
and that comfortable feeling is sure to
spread even if it entails the building of
costlier safety vaults than those we have
noY.-New York Tribune.

An Immigrant at Castle Garden.

1t may be of interest TO readers to
learn something of the process of landing
and discharging an immigrant at Castle
Garden. After the steamship has been
inspected the Storage passengers are
placed, with their baggage, on a barge
and taken direct to the garden. Here
the baggage is transferred to the baggage
room and the passengers are sent to the
rotunda, where they are registered. Then
they are given Instructions in their re-
spective home tongues regarding the de
parture of trains and such other matters
as directly affect them. A short time IS
is now afforded those who wish to leave
at once for out of town to purchase Their
tickets. This having been done, the re-
naming portion of the arrivals are sep
arated from the rest and the licensed
boarding house keepers are allowed into
the rotunda to solicit business. Those
who engage board are then given
chance to leave. Those who are expect
ing friends wait until a call for them Is
received, and others, who have no friends
nor any settled plans for the immediate
future, are allowed to remain in the
building over night. These people sleep
on the floor of the rotunda upon their
own bedding. Those who are sick or
destitute are removed TO the temporary
hospital to await transportation to Wards
island, whence they are discharged to re-
main In the city or sent back to Europe
upon the return of the steamships which
brought them here, depending entirely
upon their ability to care for themselves
and avoid becoming public charges.
Those immigrants who are able to care
for themselves, but want some sort of
employment and have no friends to Sc
cure it for them, are provided for by the
labor bureau. In speaking of the opera
lions of this department Mr.. Connolly
said that female immigrants are and al
ways have been at a great premium.
He has large number Of applicants for
servants in excess of the supply, About
100 ladies visit the bureau daily looking
for servants, besides a great number of
applications which come by mail from
every part of the Union. With the men
employment is not always so easily OBJ
tanned, especially at this season of the
year, when outdoor work is not generally
engaged in. Still most of the inrni-
grants are provided with places without
much difficulty. Last year the bureau
provided employment for over 10000
persons.-New York Graphic.

Slow Music Exerts a Calming Influence.
How to Rouse the Spirits.
The fact remains that music does act
powerfully on the majority of nervous
systems, ard there is reason to think that
the brain is not alone affected. For ex-
ample, the movement of the lower limbs.
both In dancing and in marching, are
distinctly influenced by music, indie
pendently of the consciousness. When
the brain at FIRST participates in the ex-
element produced it may become en-
crossed with other matters. and rhythmical
muscular movements of the extremities,
and in a lesser degree Of the trunk, VIII
be continued automatically In harmony
with the music.
Direct impressions on the cerebral cen
tiers are probably transmitted through
the auditory center. Thus nnonOtonous
and slow music VIII exert a calming in
fiuence. provided it be not too slow to be
in harmony with the nerve habit Of the
individual, as In that case it may frTitate.
1t Is also essential to the success Of any
endeavor to bring the brain under con
troll Of music, that it should first arrest
the attention either by its power or sweet
ness, and then gradually conduct the
organism into harmony with itself. A

calm the mind is more likely to augment
than to allay irritation, unless it begin
with powerful appeal to the brain in a
key which accords with that in which
the cerebrum is at the moment itself
working. This has not, perhaps, been
sufficiently well understood in some at
tempts which have been made, expert
mentally, to use music as a remedial
measure.
So with endeavors to rouse the spirit
by music, the opening needs to be plant
FIVE and in the key of melancholy which
harmonizes with the brain state of the
patient. The attention being arrested
and the cerebrum reached through the
auditory center, the key must be grad
ually changed and the time quickened in
such manner as to change the brain state.
No great progress viii be made with the
employment Of sound, and form and
color as remedial agents, powerful as
these agents really are, until we dismiss
the uDscientific idea of ''mind, - and
begin to regard the brain as an organ
which, ike all other parts Of the body,
obeys physical laws and performs it,
functions by purely physical processes. =

Diffusion of Wealth.

Twenty millions of dollars in village
does not make that village rich if it is all
owned by two men; but if that amount is
spread evenly all over the village then it
is different. Money in the hands of one
or two men is ike dungheap in barn
yard. SO-lOng as it lies in a mass it does
no good, but If it was only spread evenly
on the land how everything would grow!
Money is like snow. If it is blown into
drifts it blocks up the highway and
nobody can travel, but if it lies evenly
distributed over all the ground it facili-
tates every mans travel. Wealth is good
if diffused, but not if boarded. Henry

Patience a Great Help.
A lady who had been Frustrated by
serious accident underwent a critical
surgical operation. After it was over she
inquired of the surgeon how long she
should have to remain in bed. "Only
one day at time" he cheerfully re-
sponded. The thought had soothing in
huence upon her, and as she gave utter
ance to it from day to day, a feeling of
resignation was engendered which did
much to neutraIize the effect of months
Of weary confinement to bed. Heroic eff
fort often restores the mind to healthy
balance, but patience, in the true mean!
ing of the word, is the best aid to recov-
cry IN surgical cases. Herald Of HEALTH
